Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Wow!

[Verse 2]

Ridin' on the highway

Goin' to a show

Stop in all the byways

Playin' rock and roll

Gettin' robbed

Gettin' stoned

Gettin' beat up

Broken boned

Gettin' had

Gettin' took

I tell you, folks

It's harder than it looks

[Verse 3]

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

If you think it's easy doin' one night stands

Try playin' in a rock and roll band

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

[Verse 4]

Hotel, motel

Make you wanna cry

Lady, do the hard sell

Know the reason why

Gettin' old

Gettin' grey

Gettin' ripped off

Underpaid

Gettin' sold

Second hand

That's how it goes

Playin' in a band

[Verse 5]

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

If you wanna be a star of stage and screen

Look out, it's rough and mean

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
